hahahahaahahh good shit bro

holy crap dude!.. this build is just pure perfection!.. congrats on getting sponsored and fulfiling your dream!

you should also wrap the PSU in white carbon fiber imo!.. i wrapped mine with black carbon fiber and it looks AWESOME, to say the least... excellent build bro!.. btw, can you provide any links to those sata data cables?.. are they available only in white?.. i need some black and red cables, been searching for those for a while already!..

in that case, 3-4 titans x would be good i guess... even tho i already tried the 4k experience and whatnot, i must say, according to MY experience, i would much rather get 1 or 2 titans and play on 3 1080p 144hz monitors... or 1440p @ 144hz monitors if you manage to get one of those rog swifts or something like that!.. 144hz its a whole different story.. its so much better than anything else ive tried before... i guess ill go with 4k once there is decent/cheaper hardware available to run that res smoothly and once there are 100+ hz 4k monitors available.. i believe i will be waiting for a couple more years though and here, you are right... you can read as much as you want but imo, experience comes with practice, friend. i remember the first time i build a custom loop.. it was much less fancy than this one but it was mine indeed!... gl with your project, cant wait to see how you pull this one off!

14 years old, 5k+ build.. holy shit.. dual titans should be more than enough but hey, since this looks like isnt your money, go for id(i would ) anyways, lets see how this turns out!.. good luck!

Sure! here you have 2 quick benchs i ran... Things to take in consideration: I ran this benchs a couple days ago, and where i live(Asuncion-Paraguay) its USUAL to have temperatures of around 40 degrees CELSIUS... yep you read that right, sometimes in the toughest days we even reach around 48-50 degrees C... In this room, the ambient temp was around 30-35 degrees celsius so i can say temperatures are pretty decent. 3DMark Fire Strike Score: 3DMark 11 Score: Later on ill add some Unigine bench scores! Yup im taking that in consideration. Maybe i do that on the next upgrade

small update! got this new babies on my desk! they sound incredibly amazing.. next step is getting the KRK 10S subwoofer. also got some auralex acoustic pads to put right under them! also i replaced my 2 samsung 840 evos with this baby! also i did some quick bench and those were the results: WITHOUT rapid mode enabled: WITH rapid mode enabled: thats it for now!

MAN, THIS... THIS... IS GLORIOUS!

yeah i was thinking about that! and also fill that big gap beetween motherboard and res with something.. uhmm maybe a decal or something like that.. still thinking about that! cool!.. thanks! ill be updating this post whenever i do some more progress!.. next step is getting a custom table and chair!..

yeah its kinda big! but i like the size, it provides good airflow for better cooling! ... but seriously, thanks! haha yeah i guess! Thanks bro! yeah i was thinking to do that.. maybe by the end of the year i end up updating some small parts and adding a double thick 240 rad! thanks for the tip

thanks man!.. i know it has its imperfections but its mine and i love it! haha

dude, seriously it will take you like 10 minutes to fix that up.. its not really that hard >.<

thanks! and actually there is no "need" for it, i just like the case and i feel comfortable building on it!.. theres even enough room to fit another motherboard in there ... might aswell build 2 pcs in one haha. ------------------------------------------------------------------- on the other hand i decided to take pictures with my galaxy note 4(i replaced my old s4 with this one) and colors seems better in those pictures!...

that was the idea on the beggining but having that behemoth on top doesnt provides enough room for a front rad.. also i guess i could add a small 140 rad on the back, what do you think? thanks

Hello everyone, i know its an old post but ive finally completed my build.. ill post some pictures(i did my best about the quality but the camera isnt the best and my hands also shake a lot so bare with me) and let you guys judge . Idk why the liquid color seems kind of orange and the cables seem pinkish but they look pretty much the same irl! weird but whatever. Also Mayhems tharsis red liquid looks amazing!. and its also one of the best liquids ive ever used, left no gunks, corrosion or anything like that. Clean stuff! Theres so much room for activities! i dont really like taking pictures with flash but you can really see the liquid colors in this ones.. Any suggestions on how to improve this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

jesus.. this is way above perfection man!... excellent job... the look and effort put into the details are just plain amazing... small details makes the difference!...

DAMN man, this thing looks AMAZING.. awesome painting job! cant wait to see more. SUBBED!

i know its been a while already(ive finished the build a week or 2 after posting this!) but i couldnt find a decent camera so far, ive been looking for some good options but they are all so expensive that im just gonna wait on a friend of mine to lend me hers for now ill just leave you with one small picture taken with my galaxy s4 again! ill post more once i get my friends camera! thank you all for your support! EDIT: i also dont know how to post pictures in a smaller format, any suggestions? =/

haha yeah considering ill be using 1 and a half of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008B9W0IC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and also considering the fact that they are 60'' by 59'', yep.. thats a lot!.. haha also thanks for the feedback! hehe Actually the name comes out of my own nickname, G(ene)5(is), i couldnt figure out anything more creative to name it but since its not finished yet, the name can also be updated! haha thanks! Thanks bro! ill be updating as soon as i make any small change! haha thanks for feedback bro!... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Small update, some cable extensions arrived yesterday aswell with a new screwdriver kit and some more fittings. I highly recommend this kit because it isnt expensive at all and it comes with everything you might need(even if you are into repairing cellphones or small electronic devices too) btw the cable extensions look amazing, tbh i didnt expect such high quality, maxfinder is doing a solid work with these. and the fittings: PS: Sorry i dont have the time nor the appropriate equipment to take better photos, so im gonna leave you with a picture of my camera and thats it for now, i hope i can finish the build during this week or maybe during next weekend!.. thank you all for your support!

Hi everyone, this will be my first build log in this forum and i would really like to share it with you! Fist of all i would like to share it here because this community helped me so much to understand some important aspects of watercooling and everything that involves PC customization. Secondly, i would also like to share it to hear your opinions about the build and the choices i take! It took me roughly 6 to 8 months to get all the money to buy all the parts i needed(case, acrylic bending tools, fittings, waterblocks etc) and i guess im happy with everything i chosed. I also used spare parts from my old builds. The PC Specs are the following: -Caselabs Magnum SMA8(with carbon fiber wrapping, just because i like the fact that it looks good and also protect the case from scratches) -Maximus VI Formula(bios updated to match the processor) -Intel Core i7 4970k -16Gb. Ram Corsair Dominator 1866mhz -2 x EVGA Gtx 780Ti SLI -Asus Xonar Essence STX -2 x Samsung EVO 250Gb. SSD -2 x 2Tb. WD Caviar Black -1 x 1Tb Samsung HDD -1 x Corsair AX 1200 -Corsair Individualy Sleeved Modular Cables - Red -Some MaxFinder Sleeved Cable Extensions Black/Blood Red Watercooling components: -Primochill Acrylic Tubing -Primochill Revolver Compression Fittings(Black / Nickel Plated Brass) -1 x Alphacool Nexxos Monsta 560 rad -1 x Alphacool Nexxos Monsta 480 rad -1 x EK Supremacy Clean CSQ CPU waterblock -2 x EK FC780 GTX classy - Acetal + Nickel GPU Waterblocks -Lots of Bitspower Adapters -8 x Corsair Air Series SP 140MM Led red Fans -4 x Corsair Air Series SP 120MM Led red Fans -3 x Corsair Air Series AF 120MM Fans -1 x Corsair Air Series AF 140MM Fan -1 x Alphacool VPP655 Variable Speed Pump -1 x Bitspower Water Tank Z Multi 200 V2 - Clear body & POM version -1 x Bitspower D5 / MCP655 Mod Kit V2 - Black Sparkle Finish -1 x Bitspower D5 Mod Pump Top V2 (Acrylic Version) -2 x (or maybe 3) ModMyToys 4-Pin Power Distribution PCB - 8-Way block And maybe, a lot more stuff that im forgetting I'll leave you with some pictures of what ive been doing so far.. i started building this a month ago(i dont live in the usa and stuff takes time to arrive to my country, i live in Paraguay, South america ) and i plan on finishing it in 1-3 weeks depending on when the latest parts arrive. Also before even getting to the photos id like to add that i dont have any sort of professional camara nor professional camara equipment. All pictures have been taken using my Samsung Galaxy S IV so im already sorry for the bad quality. Some of the stuff that arrived during the 6-8 months period: Old GTX 580 with bitswpower wb for comparison, these things are gigantic. The case box itself, it came in an EXCELLENT packaging. Every part came perfectly sealed inside hard plastic bags. it also comes with their own building tools: Everything set up to start wrapping: this is a small preview before finishing this piece: and here is the case interior finished: Also i would like to add that i ran out of wrapping so ill be finishing the wrapping process later on. In the other hand i used small pieces of wrapping to do the following(btw i think it looks pretty cool): VGAS with waterblocks and backplates installed: now, using the removable motherboard tray im testing how the setup is going to look note: im using that res as an example of what im trying to acomplish!.. thats a 150ml res, im getting one a little bit bigger for the finished build(200ml res) and this is in the background of the building it has plenty of space to do cable management but the cables arent so friendly themselves.. damn i hate the fact that i suck at sleeving and creating custom cables Aaaand thats it so far! thank you all in advance for sharing your thoughts and/or opinions!.. cheers! Please let me know what you think! PS: sorry for typos and bad english, if there is anything you couldnt understand, ill do my best to answer any questions!

Nice!.. followed

So it is more about surface area then?... how does pump speed helps here? I assume that due to higher speeds then more water cycles through the loop which means faster heat dissipation am i rite?.. Also now that we are on the subject, can i have 2 different pumps on the same system? Do they need to be configured in serial or can they be set up(for example) like this: res => pump 1 => radiator 1 => pump 2 => radiator 2 => vga wblock 1 => vga wblock 2 => cpu wblock => rad 3 => res? Ps: sorry for terrible English Ps2: also by saying 2 different pumps i mean 2 completely different pumps, different speeds, liters per hour etc. Etc.

LOL yes, already fixed that, my bad, brainfarted there... so you think 1/2 3/4 tubing performs about the same as 3/8 1/2? More suggestions or comments are well apreciated

Hello everyone im building a new watercooling setup and i want to mix tubing sizes and im wondering if its going to give me some serious flow restriction or anything like that? The reason for doing so, is that i will have a lot of tubing hidden in the back/bottom of the case(Caselabs SMA8), and i dont mind using flexible tubing there. Also, i have a crackload amount of flexible tubing compression fittings(1/2 ID 3/4 OD) which i could use to save some $$$.. The only visible tubings are going to be rigid and im planning on using Primochill Rigid Acrilic Tubing, which is 3/8 ID 1/2 OD along with some bitspower black sparkle Multi Link Adapters... Am i going to run on some serious problems doing that?... Thanks in advance! EDIT: Fixed some aidstypos

dude this is awesome!!! excellent job! 15/10
